PRELUDE

(The Well-Tempered-Clavier vol. 1)


A prelude is a short piece, usually of an introductory character. This prelude pairs with a "fugue" and both are in
the important book of preludes and fugues "The Well-Tempered Clavier" (volume 1) by the German composer Johann
Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750). This prelude is known to have been used as the basis for the composition of an Ave Maria
attributed to C. Gounod (1818 - 1893). Again, we present here only an early excerpt.

J. S. Bach (1685 – 1750)
